We've had some lengthy discussions here about what kind of coffee maker to use on the road - percolator, french press etc. Well I am here to announce I have the final answer.
Starbucks instant.

Are you lookin' fer a thrashin' son?

do you bring your own water?
if you do, maybe you shouldn't. If you don't maybe you should drink tea.

I don't know...maybe we should give DD a break. He's been on the road for a while, camping at a strange latitude -- he probably has some southern fever or delirious from the sun. You know, like chnlisle.
j.k, jay.

Te Aro Roasted is the only place for beans. Best in the world. From Toronto.
It may be my sister and brother-in-law's business, but that has nothing to do with it
Seriously, they've turned me into a big time coffee snob.

P.s. I do hand grinder and French press. Just add boiling water. Doesn't get much simpler than that. Aside from the aforementioned instant coffee, which may or may not be actual coffee.

Well remember we are talking about coffee for camping here. I'm not about to bust out instant at home lets not get totally ridiculous

In all honesty, I really don't have a sophisticated palette...though I probably wouldn't bother drinking instant anymore unless I just wanted the caffeine, and if that's the case I'd just take NoDoz.
But if anyone is interested in the opinion of the most highfalutin source for coffee reviews, CoffeeReview.com, see their review of instant coffees (including 2 Starbucks flavors) from a year ago. For reference, a very good coffee rating here (like wine ratings elsewhere) is >90, and all of these (except a liquid concentrate) were less than 80....some much less than 80. They don't hate Starbucks (among these instants), but it's not the top -- except in price!
BTW: I can't detect even 10% of the flavor notes that the CoffeeReview.com guys describe -- not sophisticated! But I like to pretend...

If one eats Starbucks instant coffee, then I'm not interested. That's too strong for me.

I use the Hario Slim mill.
Right off Gormley's link to his sis and bro-in-law's page: http://www.te-aro.ca...-mini-slim-mill
But, I bought mine at the same place I get my green coffee - Sweet Maria's
Where I live, the only good coffee is the stuff you roast yourself. No Starbucks around here. Didn't even know they made instant...

I've used the starbucks instant when on the road or at camp. It is pretty convenient...
But this has been my preference for a while now.

Thanks Mr. Z, I'll check it out. Costs more than my French press but looks well made.
